Zbrush Practice

2016-06-16T21:12:00.002-06:00

I've been doing some practice with zbrush. It has been a lot of fun digging into it. I'm just using a trial version which is almost due. I'll have to save up for a full licence me thinks.

A little photoshop painting

Some messing around with photoshop.

Sketch Dump

These are some sketches from my sketchbook. I just snapped the images with my phone so the picture quality isn't the best. Thanks for looking!

Some sketching I did on my Lenovo tablet. Trying to get used to the tablet with painter. I used the 1 pixel pen brush and the oil pastel for the little painting in the second one.

Floating Island Ruins

2014-07-20T19:57:00.000-06:00

Here is some 3D! I worked on this awhile ago. I Thought I would get it posted up instead of it just sitting on my computer. I have been meaning to get it all textured up and looking polished. I just have the geometry to show right now so it's still a work in progress. Thanks for looking :)

Zbrush practice

2014-02-25T20:13:00.003-07:00

I've been learning zbrush. This is one of my first sculpts after I started to get the hang of things. Looks kinda like a young Col. Sanders or a hairier version of Patrick Stewart :p It's been fun learning the program. I can't wait to really dig in deep with it.

Porsche Carrera GT

2014-02-15T14:05:00.000-07:00

We worked on a racer at my work 4 or 5 months ago. Earlier in development the game started out realistic. The game changed to a more cartoon style later on. I decided to do some nice renders in maya of one of the realistic style cars I worked on.

There are some more images on my website www.artofmattwood.allyou.net

3D Floating Island

2014-01-20T19:58:00.002-07:00

This is a small part of a larger 3D project I have been working on the last few months. This is just to showcase the rocky cliff shader I made for the island part. I am happy with how it turned out. I did a combination of digital sculpting and painting for the normal maps and textures.

This is the shader network for the rocky cliff material. It is built using a layered shader. I feel like I've just scratched the surface with this stuff.

Paintings for my parents

2013-12-30T11:27:00.001-07:00

These were painted for my parents for christmas. The Sailboat image was painted for my Dad. He recently sold his boat. It was called the New Dawn. I have a lot of fond memories sailing with him and my brothers on the Great Salt Lake. I thought it would be a fun way to commemorate his boat and the good times we had. The beach painting was for my Mom. She loves the beach. When I visit her in California visiting the beach is something that we always do. I put the images on some coffee mugs and gave them to my parents as Christmas gifts. I enjoyed painting them quite a bit. Thanks for taking a look.

Fisherman Paint Study

2013-05-21T09:48:00.000-06:00

Another paint study. This one was a little more challenging. I think I have the environment stuff down fairly well. I need to work on people and characters a lot more.
